Perfect for us! Lovely house in a quiet wooded area close to a beautiful lake and private dock. The house offers many amenities and is well-stocked with kitchen and bathroom and living items and supplies. Very comfortable, well-maintained, meticulously clean - spotless! Great location for many athletic, cultural, and culinary activities. Hosts were very accessible and helpful. We spent a wonderful week here.

There's so many good things we could say...the home and grounds were impacable. Ellen had everything you could possibly want or need. The area is beautiful and relaxing...white tail deer paradise! All the neighbors were friendly and welcoming.We rented a pontoon boat less than 5 minutes away and enjoyed a full day on the lake with our dog. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

Wonderful!

We have enjoyed several stays in this wonderful cottage…usually in the winter. We were so delighted sitting on the porch in the evenings listening to the chorus of frogs by the lake. Absolutely enchanting! Ellen is a wonderful hostess. The cottage is immaculate and well stocked. Hopefully we will visit this cozy cottage again!

Beautiful property

What an amazing property this was to stay in. Plenty of space but felt cosy. It was cold and snowy when we stayed so couldn’t take advantage of the proximity of the lake, but did get to use the fireplace. Cottage is isolated enough to feel like we were well away from the city but close enough to where we wanted to visit. Close to Bash Bish falls, Rodger’s Book Barn, Coopers Daughter and, of course, the supermarket and Stewart’s. Will definitely book again for our next trip

The house was beautiful inside - it was immaculate and the details were thoughtful and comfortable. The king bed was super comfortable. Everything was perfect. This is such an unassuming house. It was really lovely, and we enjoyed our stay very much. I will definitely plan to stay again.

Hillsdale Weekend

This is our 2nd visit to this property. We love the location, great fire pit, colorful leaves and lots of deer. We visited Bash Bish Falls and the local brewery was awesome. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. We had a very relaxing weekend and look forward to returning.

Mother/daughter getaway

We had a lovely stay! The house was all updated, well decorated and so clean. The master bedroom was very spacious with lots of windows facing the woods for privacy and a really comfortable king bed. We enjoyed sitting by the dock in the Adirondack chairs as well as sitting at night around the fire pit at the house. The furniture in the house was well maintained and the kitchen was well equipped. We had great cell reception and wifi worked well too! I would definitely stay again.

A Quiet Reprieve

A very quiet, relaxful few days. Well needed. Definitely too short. The house itself was situated in a wooded area, with a few houses nearby. Occasional local traffic to and from our section of the lake/dock. Beautiful views and easy access from the dock. At the end of the lake away from any faster noisier boats. The house was clean and comfortable. Could have used a second comfortable chair on the.enclosed porch/dining area for reading, with a view. A very pleasant, enjoyable visit. Would definitely return.

Lovely house

We had a wonderful time at the cottage - spent a lot of time swimming in the lake, cooked a few delicious meals, built a fire in the fire pit. The beds were comfy and the house was clean. One word of warning - beware the deep gully on the right side of the road in front of the house. We arrived in the dark and one of our group, when trying to back up after overshooting the driveway, lodged a rear wheel in the gully. We needed a tow truck to get it out.

Relaxing woodsy stay

We did enjoy this residence. It didn’t have as many extras as other homes I’ve stayed in, no assortment of games etc. Internet was choppy. The kitchen was fairly bare, and unfortunately no coffee was provided for Keurig. There was only salt/pepper, sugar and old Instant coffee. It was slightly expensive for what it offered, but it was still quite a nice stay.
